Nalgene carboys for bulk storage of drugs and reagents Superior containers to maximize product security All carboys are not created equal Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ containers are made with high-quality resins, and meet the rigorous pharmaceutical high-quality resins that meet pharmaceutical, laboratory, production, laboratory and foodgrade standards. Our and food grade standards. That’s why millions of Nalgene resins are selected to minimize additives and reduce carboys and bottles are at work in bioproduction facilities potential leachables.

The high-quality materials and construction of Nalgene containers enhance this advantage, assuring protection for your valuable products. * Our guarantee for a leakproof seal is subject to our standard product warranty, as set forth in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Terms and Conditions of Sale. Our products are leakproof at ambient temperature and pressure when used with their corresponding closures. However, to ensure safe usage, customers are advised to test our containers and closures under conditions of their planned applications. Our leakproof guarantee We stand behind every Nalgene carboy and Anatomy of a Nalgene carboy jerrican you buy Nalgene carboys and closures are designed, Nalgene carboys and closures are engineered to work manufactured, and supported with the rigorous needs of together with a strong, semi-buttress thread design the pharmaceutical and biologics markets in mind. that prevents stripping. We off er a leakproof guarantee because we manufacture and test both components together as part of our routine quality inspection process (see page 15 for details). If any Nalgene container doesn’t meet our leakproof standards, simply return it to us and we will replace it—guaranteed. The seal ring is molded inside the closure. It fi ts tightly against the beveled inner edge (chamfer) of the bottle neck. For dissimilar materials (HDPE carboy with PP closure), no gasket is required. For PP-to-PP sealing, a gasket is added for extra security of the seal. Threads on bottles and closures have continuous, straight-shouldered semi-buttress threads, not low-quality round threads. The closure is manufactured and tested to work with the carboy and jerrican threading. The closure and bottle system work together to supply a guaranteed leakproof system. Nalgene carboys feature a stable base and bottoms with curved inner corners for easy cleaning—no sharp edges or voids that could cause diffi cult cleaning validations or nonhomogeneous stirring 3 Forced extraction study reports The qualifi cation and validation of production, harvest, Combined with NIST98K, Wiley, and other databases, and containment supplies is an integral part of any these techniques provide the information required to biopharmaceutical application process.

The solvents and conditions are meant to be extremely aggressive and designed to represent “worst-case” results. Leachables Leachables consist of chemical compounds that are typically a subset of extractables that can migrate from the contact material into stored solutions under normal process conditions and/or accelerated conditions. Leachable studies are designed to produce results representative to actual application and use of the products.
